Þit skuluð hlýða hróðri mínum,
Sigurðr ok Sjólfr, sessunautar.
Ykr á ek gjalda greypan verka,
hróðr harðsnúinn, huglausum tveim.
Sigurðr ok Sjólfr, þit sessunautar skuluð hlýða hróðri mínum. Ek á gjalda ykr tveim huglausum greypan verka, harðsnúinn hróðr.
‘Sigurðr and Sjólfr, you two bench companions must listen to my praise poetry. I have to pay back you two thoughtless fellows for [your] coarse composition, impudent poetry. ’
Oddr now drinks off his horn and fills one for each of Sjólfr and Sigurðr. He speaks the following two stanzas.
